Mix and Matching V-lock batteries and chargers

[Ryan Lalonde]

I own a few of the 160w GMP batteries with these chargers http://www.globalmediapro.com/dp/A00UX3/Globalmediapro-SCA2S-2-channel-Charger-AC-Adaptor/

Do you think i could charge http://woodencamera.com/Switronix-XP-L95RED on the GMP charger?

(switronix only makes a 4 bay "red" charger and I already own a bunch of those GMP ones)

Thanks!

Even though 2 batteries up to 160w are allowed by the government regulators - west jet assured me they would not allow me to take them on the plane. This is why I need some smaller batts to fill out my kit....

Should work, but I don't know of anyone that has used that charger with them. If it is totally incompatible, it just won't charge. Just an FYI, ANY of our v-mount chargers will charge the XP-L95RED batteries. The XC-4LSRED was designed specifically for RED brand v-mount bricks. It will charge all other of our batteries as well.

Is it simply branding? Or is there an actual difference? I'm a small operation so 2 bay charges assure I'll always have a backup if one goes down! Sounds like I'll be picking up a couple of your batters either way - cheers!

Hi Vinny... I just received 4 L95RED's from Wooden Camera. These look really excellent! Can I charge them on my Red Brick charger?

Thanks,
Chris

Be aware that if your house burns down GMP will blame the batteries. They say that only GMP batteries are approved and tested for use with their charger.

A OK on a red charger.

I can't speak for GMP chargers, never tried/tested them.
